I see this flawed notion way too often.

Registering domains at any ICANN accredited and well
known domain registrar is no different than registering at Network
Solutions.  I use GoDaddy as a domain registrar (not a hosting provider),
and I "control" my domains no differently than anyone who uses NS or any
other accredited domain registrar.  It's also A LOT less expensive than NS.

This is much different than hosting providers who buy domains on your behalf
(through themselves or any ICANN accredited registrar) and offer all-in-one
packages (domains, email, web hosting, etc).  In that situation, yes, you
can lose control of your domains.
